MENHEALING

MENHEALING IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING HEALING RESOURCES FOR MALE-IDENTIFIED SEXUAL TRAUMA SURVIVORS- AGE 18 AND OLDER- WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SEXUAL TRAUMA DURING CHILDHOOD OR AS ADULTS. MENHEALING INSURES THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE WEEKEND OF RECOVERY PROGRAM. WEEKEND OF RECOVERY (WOR) RETREATS PROVIDE COMPLEMENTARY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR MEN WHO SEEK TO HEAL FROM THEIR TRAUMA. BY ENGAGING PARTICIPANTS IN CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPORTS SAFETY NEEDS FOR MALE-IDENTIFIED SURVIVORS, OUR PROGRAM FORMAT SEEKS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND HONOR THE AUTHENTIC DIVERSITIES OF ATTENDEES AT EACH WOR (SEXUALITY, GENDER, RACIAL, ETHNIC, CLASS, SPIRITUALITY, ETC.). ALUMNI OF WOR RETREATS REPORT THE EXPERIENCE CONTRIBUTED TO EASING THEIR SUFFERING; TO ENABLING HIGHER FUNCTIONING; TO FACILITATING HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS WITH FRIENDS, PARTNERS, CHILDREN; TO INSPIRING ACTIVISM; AND TO DIMINISHING THE CYCLE OF VICTIMIZATION.
